Looking for help!

[PraggersUK]

I could really use some help for my situation. there is a girl at work i like, she knows i like her but she doesn't how much i like her, which is a hell of a lot. i don't think it would make alot of difference if she knew or not, but any way.
she's a manager of mine at work, thats how i met her. i've liked her for about 8 months now, but only in the last couple have things got more difficult as she now knows. i have gone to ask her out, but she got in there before i could ask, which i guess is a good thing. so i never got to ask her out. several people at work have said she does like me, i'm not so sure as i think she likes someone else who we both work with. and i also think he likes her, not that either of them would admit to it. she has asked me if i'm finding it difficult to work with her, i said no, coz it's not.
However i have decided that i have to get over her, as much as i don't want to, i must especially before she gets with this other guy, that would really get to me.
thanx for listening, any ideas let me know.
Cheers, Praggers.

FIFO= first in first out. Go and tell her something like:
"how would you feel knowing somebody thinks about you all the time" and look her in the eyes, smile and suduce :) She will know you like her very much, they you'll start talking and after a small chat, ask her to join you for lunch. You must hurry before the other guy.

Im going to say this as nicely as I can, and please try to understand,

DO NOT DATE ANYONE YOU WORK WITH!

Trust me, keep work relationships strictly professional, take it from someone who knows and has had experience with it more than once. Dont mix business with pleasure. There are other fish in the sea, probably right outside your door. You DO NOT need to date your manager, it isnt smart. Try looking elsewhere..there are 3.2 billion women in the world, you can find someone else you like JUST as much.

I have to agree here you want to keep your work duties and strickly professional unless you worked for a huge company and you raley saw her. Many relationships go through hell because of this. If you both hit it off then broke up how do you think the work setting would be? It would be wierd being around her and it depend on the kind of breakup but there could be hate with it.

It is up to you and some people can date like this but I have seem more con's than pro's to this.

I'd say it all depends on how much you value your job. If it is just a job that you could take or leave, and could find something else that you would enjoy very easily, then I would go for it.

But if it doesn't work out, the akwardness that you are going to feel around her is going to be overbearing.

Do you think that you could date your manager, but still accept equal treatment as an employee?

All love is a risk. It just depends on how much of a risk you are willing to take.
